Jawsome Feeding Frenzy - Basking Shark's Plankton Picnic at St Michaels Mount!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this jaw-dropping split level digital composite, we witness the incredible feeding behavior of a magnificent Basking shark (Ceterhinus maximus) off the coast of Cornwall, UK. With its enormous mouth wide open, this gentle giant is indulging in an all-you-can-eat buffet of plankton surrounding the iconic St Michaels Mount. Against a cloudy backdrop and beneath the temperate Atlantic waters, this bizarre spectacle captures nature's weird and wonderful wonders. The sheer size and power of these lamniformes are on full display as they effortlessly glide through the ocean depths with mouths agape. As if straight out of a sci-fi movie, this mesmerizing image showcases one animal's insatiable hunger for microscopic organisms that sustain our marine ecosystem. It reminds us just how diverse and fascinating underwater life can be. With not a human in sight, we are privileged to witness such an extraordinary moment captured by photographer Alex Mustard. This print from Nature Picture Library brings together artistry and science to celebrate the beauty and complexity of our natural world. So dive into this aquatic adventure where sharks meet sky, water meets land, and curiosity meets awe-inspiring wildlife!
